I'm having problems with the forum now that the hosts have been playing with the servers and doing some upgrades.
Main problem now is the pages aren't forwarding on as they should.
Unless logged in the forum default page comes up blank.
After posting you get a blank page.
Admin button brings up a blank page instead of admin login.
Sent off a question to the hosts and this is the reply i got.
And yes i'm using 3.4.06
Is this something i can fix or will this one be up to the hosts?

This is likely due to the way asp handles redirects with apache 2 - it requires a status call as well as just a redirect.
Are you using the lastest version of the software? It may already have been adjusted for the newer version of apache.

Snitz was not written to run in Apache. Running Snitz in a Linux/Unix environment should be a last resort option, IMO, because Snitz is an ASP app and ASP was developed to run in IIS, thus in Windows machines.
I don't know what's a status call and I don't know how to get that done in ASP, so you are likely to get stuck with that... unless you use a Windows server or the host knows how to fix it. Anyway, this is a server side issue. |

Got a reply about the status call and server info.
quote:
Apache is the Web server, as it's always been. It's just a different version.
We are running SunOne ASP, same as before.
The status call gets added before the redirect response, ie
Response.Status = "401 Unauthorised" (or "304 Moved")
response.redirect("page.asp")
You'll notice any login page will have the response.redirect included.

| well, that is the first time I have heard of adding the staus in code, that is something that the web server normally deals with not the asp code. |

| That doesn't make sense to me, even more so because you're redirecting because that's the way you want your interface to behave, not because the page has moved or anything else. Sounds pretty weird to me. |

I couldn't get this going.
What i can do though is turn off require registration and everything works fine.
Private forums and usergroups is going to be very handy if this problem cant be fixed properly. |

jump to last post doesn't work still.
Only places able to be accessed by non members is support area, chinwag and test areas.
All vital areas of the forum are protected by the usergroup mod and pvt forums making them either hidden or get the not authorised message.
Also have minimum post count to email users in case this was able to be done by anonymous users.

Just MHO, but if you plan to stay with the same host, I'd think about finding another forum package that you could upgrade to, native to Linux / Unix...
Otherwise, move to a Windows server, even if that means changing hosts. |

I would change in a flash but there are issues with the forum going on at the moment that need to be sorted out first.
Last thing i want to do is move servers and bring any issues along with me.
The forum might have to go on hold until things are sorted unless they can get it working.
Everything was fine until they started playing around.
With the new cpanel i have now there is the option to install a php board but i like snitz. |

| You problems seems to be coming from the host not the forum code. This is what rui is saying if you move to a windows host all the issues should go away. |

Sorry issues i mean isn't to do with code or the server.
This is a legal issue which is currently going on that i dont wish to take from one server to another. |

Ok some interesting things with this.
Posting a new topic forwards on perfectly fine.
Editing a new topic forwards on perfectly fine.
Reply to topic doesn't. I get the blank page.
Same if i edit a reply.
Is there something in the post new topic/edit original post that could be used to make the others forward on as they should?

Despite Snitz not being written with *nix servers in mind, many, many people in the past have managed to get Snitz up & running on them in the past (usually with a few minor tweaks here & there) but I have never once heard of anyone encountering this issue. Now, admittedly I know nothing about *nix (and not much more about Windows servers!) but it sounds to me as though your host doesn't know how to set their servers up properly. Status is something that is set by the server and not something you should have to set in your scripts.
